September 1, 2017

Okay, so I’m kicking it off a little early. It’s Friday and I’m working
from home today before officially launching into the long holiday
weekend.

It’s a cool, 55F today and the high is only expected to reach 67F. Sure
feels like a new season and that’s perfectly fine with me. This is the
traditional end of summer in these parts. The kids are all back to
school now and the public pools that haven’t already closed will wrap it
up this weekend.

Today also commences my annual, month-long
break from Twitter. I avoid
Facebook too but since I rarely use it, you’d be hard pressed to know I
was taking a “break” from it. This has been a tough year in the
tweetstream what with all the bile stirred by the iridescent
incompetence of the new administration.

We’ve entered some weird zone where the election cycle is continuous and
both sides remain at war via social media. Who knows, maybe a month will
turn into forever?
